Thanks a lot sir

I wasn't aware of an earlier version

But a remix came up in the early 2000's with an all-star group featuring Oritz Williki, Daddy Showkey (his ejo! ad libs was all over the song)et al


If we can't get that one, I think we will make do with this then.


Meanwhile, I wouldn't mind if you help us with the Nigeria 99 under-17 World Cup official theme song (had the likes of Sir Shina Peters, Sunny Okosun, Pasuma etc) sir.


Thanks daddy

Pantami Sets Targets for 6 Agencies under the Ministry of Communications.


The Honourable Minister of Communications, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, has set targets for the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of the parastatals under the Ministry as well as the Directors of the Ministry. He urged them to significantly improve the level of their performance to reflect the Next Level paradigm of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.

He made this known during his extensive meetings with and briefings by the various CEOs, which took place over a period of 1 week at the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja. The Minister assured the CEOs of the Federal Government’s support as they discharge their duties and reminded them of his commitment to sanction any parastatal that fails to step up its performance.

The CEOs were given numerous targets, amongst which are some of the following short-term targets:



Galaxy Backbone Plc:

i. To improve the reach and coverage of its services in the public sector; and

ii. To significantly improve the quality of services provided.



Nigerian Communications Commission:

i To bring to an end the issue of sales of pre-registered, unregistered and partially-registered SIM cards, especially as this can help in reducing numerous security challenges the nation faces;

ii To stem the tide of illegal deduction of the data of subscribers and work towards the downward review of the cost of data; and

iii. To ensure compliance with the maximum 2% Call Drop Rate directive to telecom operators.

Nigerian Communications Satellite (NIGCOMSAT) Limited:

i. To significantly improve its level of visibility across the country; and
ii. To ensure great improvement in the quality of its services.



Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST):

i. To ensure an appreciable improvement in the efficiency of its letter and parcel delivery service; and

ii. To increase the effective area of its coverage in the country.



National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA):

i. To have a greater level of focus on increasing local content development and patronage in the hardware and software sub-sectors;

ii. To strengthen the execution of its IT project clearance mandate to capture more projects by the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs); and

iii. To ensure the promotion and adoption of the Nigeria e-Government Interoperability Framework (Ne-GIF) by the MDAs.

Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF):

i. To ensure there is a sustainability model in place for all the projects deployed;

ii. To prepare plan to reduce the access gaps in the rural, unserved and underserved areas.

Pantami emphasized the Ministry’s roles of supervision and provision of broad policies for all the parastatals within the Ministry. He informed the CEOs that their performance would be assessed on a monthly basis. He asked them to be passionate, hardworking and ensure that they exhibit high level of integrity in the discharge of their duties. He urged them to follow due process in their activities as championed by the President and also directed them to communicate these values and targets to their staff.

The Honorable Minister encouraged synergy, unity and the forging of a harmonious inter-Agency relationship among the parastatals. He also assured them of his total commitment to ensuring that no obstacle stands in the way of the successful execution of their mandates.

Chai...I think you need to read my comment again. I said "you saying it's okay to have the mounted truck transport grass in such an open manner IS LIKE saying it's okay for police tp use patrol van to move Corpses of criminals killed in gunfire."

Please reread and stop twisting my words.

Also, i used the word "open" right from the onset of this argument. For the sake of clarity, I have taken screenshots of both points that i just addressed and you'll see them below.

Yes, those trucks are transporting hay, but can you see hpw it's well wrapped and covered?

That is my argument. It should not be moved in such a manner. If it can't be properly concealed or packaged, then they should get one of tjose black marias or something instead of creating an eyesore all over or possibly littering the environment.

There's nothing wrong with using a pickup truck to haul grass. That's one of the things that pickup trucks were designed for. Those vehicles also belong to the Police Mounted Unit (read what's written on the side of the truck), so it's not like they used regular patrol vehicles to carry grass. The problem in this case is that they dumped too much grass in the truck (overloading) and that the load wasn't properly fastened to prevent it from spilling from the truck or impairing other road users.

Waiting for the next shifting of the goal post.

1) First it was, why don't they use another type of vehicle. So I showed that pickups are used to carry grass and I said that the only problem is the way the grass was stacked, not the type of vehicle used.

2) Then it's, marked police vehicles should not be used to carry grass. Show me a foreign marked police vehicle that's used to carry grass.

3) I show foreign police vehicles that are used to carry grass and horses.

4) Then it is, "why is it being carried in the open" (ignoring what I wrote in my first response). The problem is no longer that it's a marked police vehicle, it's that the grass is in the open.

5) Now I've posted a picture of a Chicago police truck carrying a bale of grass in the open, I wonder what's next.

No where did i state or suggest or infer that mounted trucks are patrol trucks. Please don't miscontrue or twists my assertions. I am saying for the sake of civility, you do not use a police vehicle (mounted or otherwise) to transport grass in such an open manner.
Notice how in your latest pictures, they have attached carriages despite the trucks having space for carrying grass. That's what I'm talking about.
I've tried looking up the Force Mounted Troop of the Nigeria Police to see if i can gather additional info about the departments' assets and uses but no dice.
I don't have the time, if not I'd have gone to their office to clarify things.
No where in the world will the police place grass in the back of their pickup trucks. If they're transporting feed, then it has to be done properly.

teelaw4life:
This is like saying it's okay for patrol vans to use their vehicles to move corpses of criminals killed in gunfire.

Show me any other country that utilizes "mounted police" truck to transport grass and I'll hold my peace.

teelaw4life:
You keep saying mounted as though it stands for "grass moving vehicle".It's only stating the division of the force to which the vehicle belongs.
This is like saying it's okay for patrol vans to use their vehicles to move corpses of criminals killed in gunfire.

It is not befitting of the force to transport horse feed in such a open manner, and that's what's wrong with it. Show me any other country that utilizes "mounted police" truck to transport grass and I'll hold my peace.

teelaw4life:
While I agree with you on the part that there's nothing wrong with using a pick-up to move hay for the force's horses, I'd like to state that, that isn't my point.
You've shown me examples of pick-ups being used to move grass, but those are clearly unmarked trucks. Can you show me any example of an open police truck being used to move grass for their horses -apart from Nigeria and other African countries?

teelaw4life:
Shouldn't there be a dedicated vehicle for this?
